A Good Platform.

Mr.. J. F. Sexton, one Of the can
didates for Representative in Copiah
county, In an add,lress TO the people,
after reviewing the happy, peace
full aud prosperous condition Of his
own county, cIoees with the follow.
ing pertinent remarks on State
affairs which we commend to the
earnest consideration Of aspirsnts
for legislative honors:
am sorry indeed, that the same
capnot he said of the State at large
There is q profoud conviction among
thinking people that our State
government Is not all that could bc
desired. ,.-..
1t may be difficult to determine
just where the friction lies, but 1t is
the duty Of the representatives oil
the people to look diligently for the
evil, and correct it IL possible.
The fact that the State Is already
horribly In debt, and that one hun.
dred thousand dollars more Of State
bonds are to be placed upon the
market within the next thirty days,
should admonish US that, as a State,
we are going most too fast.
A bonded Indebtedness, like q
promlssory note, has its payday
ahead. In 1907 we will be called up.
un TO meet the 100000 bonded in,
debtedness, created by the last legis
lature, to say nothing Of other debts
already accrued and to accrue. 1t Is
useless 10 add that taxation alone
can meet the demand, and that ex.
penditures must be curtailed, or tax.
es increased. When we remember
this fact. and the prodigal hand
with which our State has endowed
some few favored schemes, and The
lavish donations that have been
made, such as virtually giving to the
L n. o. Il L. Z. R. 100000 acres OF
the finest land in the world, which
cost that corporation from 8 to &c
cents an acre. and which it is now
populating with negro laborers from
The hills, TO whom it sells those
lands at from 5 to 10 dollars an
acre, we are reminded that a change
in 1.-The past policy of the State is
necessary in this respect. 1t is i'm
possible to repair these and similar
mistakes, but they should make us
mere careful the future.
In addition to this the State has
been sy scientifically and persistently
robbed by the penitentiary lease
system, until the management
of this institution has become
an eye-sore, and an open shame.
To the reformation of these and
similar abuses, in State affairs, and
strict attention to all matters OF
local interest, / pledge myself il
elected to use my utmost efforts.
shall enter into no electioneerin9
schemes to attain the nomination ior
which l seek. If defeated, shall
have the consciousness that l have
sacrificed nothing Of my manhood,
and that the county will be well
represented in the person of either
Of my honorable and deserving OPP
ponents.
We do not know Mr.. Sexton per-
sonally never even heard of until q
short time ago,-but these words
bear the impress of clear head and
an honest heart, and we will under
take TO guarantee that If the people
of Copiah elect him to the Office to
which he asplres, they will never
have reason to regret it. With two
such men for her Representatives as
}. F. Sexton and J. L. Ramsey
she will hold her own with any
county in the State.

Mr.. A.Lewenthal, Jr., of BrooF

Mr., A.Lewenthal, Jr., of Brook
haven, is urged to become candi
date for Representative from Lincoln
county. He is a Young gentleman
Of bright talents and high order
of ability, and is an attractive and
logical speaker. Mr. Lewenthal is a
student we'll versed in the funda-
mental principles of governmental
science, and If elected, he will up
hold all measures which will tend
to the enduring good of the people.
We hope Lincoln will honor him and
herself by electing him.-Nesc Mis-

The Penitentiary lessees, it mat
tiers not under what name they sail,
continue to mistreat the convicts
and openly disregard the authority
of the State. See the official report
of the Penitentiary Board Of Con.
troll in to-day's paper. The whole
Penitentiary lease system should be
blotted out. 1t is a disgrace to the
State and humanity.

THE BRooKHAvEN LEADER, one Of
the best and most ably edited papers
in the State, recently published
statements in reference to the short
comings of the former Penitentiary
lessees. Gen. Writ Adams replied,
in an article Of some length, denying
the charges, and giving a statement,
from his standpoint. The LEADER
replied to this with an array OF facts
that are unswerable. We wish we
had the space TO reproduce all these
articles. 1t would be good reading
matter for all the citizens OF Missis-
sippi, and give them some insight
into the loose way things have been
managed by our State authorizes.

Important Mail Changes.

Henceforth the Helena mails for Great
Falls will be sent by railroad to Carters-
vile whence the stage coach will take
them to Dearborn, Fort Shaw, Sun River
and this city. Cartersville or Wolf creek,
is 50 miles from here and 80 from Helena.
The Helena train arrives there daily at
1928 P. NJ. This plan will expedite the
the mails somewhat. but will not satisfy
the public who want to have the eastern
mails brought here by the Manitoba line.
Business men are pleased that the Bill
lings mail will be brougae here after De-
cember 1st, instead of to Benton The
coach will call at Stanford, Cora creek
and Belt, and will open up business rela-
tions between Great Falls and those
places. The Benton mail now goes by
rail, the stage company having pulled off
their stock YESTERDAY.

Frozen Over.

The Missouri river was busy scene
yesterday. Pedestrians and teams passed
to and fro all day with perfect safety.
Toward evening there was crack in the
ice which became springy, but no accident
occurred. Mr.. Vaughn remarked that
the water freezes here sooner than at
places up the river, partly because of the
dam, which makes the current slower.
Men worked in the forenoon at the sunk
en- sleigh aud like magicians drew cram
berries. eggs and meat from the hole in
ice. Finally. the sleigh itself was hauled
out. The ice is likewise firm today, and
although the old-timers say it viii melt
soon, the new comers from Minnesota and
other places where the ice remains firm
all winter, are if1eredulous Captain Tay-
lor intends to build an ice boat so as to be
ready for all changes of the weather.

OUR COAL FIELDS.
Steady Development of the Great
Sand Coulee Coal Fields
Many Men to be En-
pfeyed.

Preparations are going on actively te
develope the Sand Coulee coal fields and
render them the largest producers in the
west. A railroad official who has been
connected with coal Interests for twenty
years and is conyersant with the fuel
needs of the northwest visited the mines
yesterday. He says that he found in one
OF the Montana Central compauy's mines
a 10foot vein Of coal. admirably adapted
for steam and domestic uses. He is
of the opinion that before a year, 1000
men will be employed at the coal fields
IN order to meet the growing demand for
fuel in Helena and along the line Of the
Montana Central road
Steady progress is being made with the
Sand Coulee railroad, which will be ready
for the rails as soon as the bridge over
which they will be brought across the
Missouri is finished
Arrangements are being made for the
sale in this city of coal from the Montana
Central mines. The negotiations are re-
garded as practically completed.

ruins. One was dead, but the other es-
capped alive, though seriously injured.
